    I used to be in the Arizona map as the only Heavy Maint. IRC in the state. When they made me an instructor they took me off. Now I don't exist. What's with that???? Oh well.

    Roger,
    I think at one time the map automatically showed a flag for you near Tucson. Doesn't anymore. Now when I type in LEE, it brings you up with your certs expiring 3-20-18.
    Until I started researching for a particular tech, I had not seen the box above the map provided for a name or RFSC# search. This does make the process to find a
    Rotax Tech more difficult.

    What I don't understand is as an M1, M2 AME here in Canada I can work on any engine and or airframe as well as an E and S rating with certain endorsements. Other than type ratings for M2 category aircraft I never have to re-certify for anything as long as I maintain my currency in accordance with Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs), can overhaul any lycoming or continental (as long as it will never be used commercially). Can do everything except split the case and it can still be used commercially in future. My rant is all about what makes a Rotax so special that 1 day after a two year expiry date the technician seems to have forgotten everything. Don't get me wrong I love Rotax engines I have a 912 in my RV 12, but this recert thing is ridiculous, especially considering the cost of travel and accommodation. As far as I know there are only two schools in Canada. Thirty years airforce and 20 since retiring (50) years. I think I'm qualified to play with a Rotax. End of rant Cheers Skip Reeves

    Skip,
    Any A&P's here in the U.S. are legal to work on Rotax engines. The FAA says they are qualified.
    As far as I know, the requirement for Rotax recurrent training is only to comply with the Rotax warranty.
